Thank you both for the advice. The owner walks around wearing headphones & doesn't seem keen to talk, but I'll see if I can get his attention. I...
I'm hoping someone can offer some advice. There is a small/medium size white dog in our village who seems to have taken a dislike to Monty. For...
Monty has just turned 2 and is much improved. Last year we did lots of scent work with him, which he enjoyed. His breeder recommended agility...
Hi - ours used to get a red itchy tummy...turned out it was as a result of running through stinging nettles. He avoids them now...
Hi, so I'm not single but I did have a massive case of the puppy blues last year. The world revolved around the dog & it was really tough. Going...
Hi - we have both - I much prefer the alpha. The sound is clearer and it feels better on your teeth than the hard plastic of the original. Monty...
Thanks Sammie. I've got some introduction/fact finding calls set up this week with behaviourists/trainers both locally and online as I think I...
I forgot to mention that the vet also spent some time telling us the importance of feeding Monty after we've eaten so he understands his place in...
We've just got back from a very stressful trip to the vet for a routine booster injection. It was a vet he hasn't seen before, and as usual he was...
Last night Monty won a high achiever award for 2023 at his Kennel Club classes - super proud :) The jumping up at me has stopped, and he can be...
Hi Melja - we had very similar issues with Monty when he was the same age as Peanut - they are teenagers with puppy brains inside big bodies -...
Monty was exactly the same as you describe from around 8 months until 13 months. I was covered in bruises and regularly cried on walks with him...
Hi Martin - we had exactly the same with Monty when he was about that age - plonked himself down on the front lawn and refused to budge. On our...
Hi, we had very similar issues with Monty, and more time outside of his crate (and possibly him growing up a bit) have really helped. He's much...
Quick update...no jumping up for over a week now, including at a dog training class this week where there were around 8 other dogs weaving around...
Many thanks Sarah. He's on Endogard every 3 months at the moment so I'll talk to the vet to see if we can reduce it to twice each year. Other than...
Hi, we have a very healthy (fingers crossed!) working labrador who is 13 months old. Our vet recommends that he takes Nexguard monthly, and...
The reduction in Monty's crating is going really well - we were worried he'd destroy the house, but he curls up in his day-bed and tends to snooze...
Quick update - yesterday Monty was crated for around 3 hours. On this mornings walk there was no jumping at all :) We also popped to the vets at...
Thanks Sammie that's really helpful. We'll try that & see if it helps. Having him out of his crate during work calls used to be really challenging...
